IMO, you need to be low to pull off 18s.

I suggest trying to find some 19s.

^Agreed. You'll have too much wheel gap with 18s. Need to be slammed a minimum of 3" with 18s, preferably 3.25"+

IMO S-techs will work and look very good with the 18" nismos. If there is any "leftover gap" that you are particularly not happy with, go with a slightly larger tire next time they need to be replaced. The ride will be comfortable on 245/40 front and 275/40 rear. Anyone dropping Gs a whole 4" do not have comfort in mind. Hope this helps you...

The way to get rid of wheel gap is not by getting larger tires IMO, its achieved by going lower.

Nope, comfort isn't our number one priority you are right.

^ to each there own. I think extremely low cars look great with extemely wide wheels and streached tires but, BlaZin G35 doesn't have this kind of set up at the moment.

This is my current set up....i really dont want to go back to 18", i just traded my sedan sport 18's for the Nismos so i can have as a spare set.
The Nismos i have are powder coated black, my intension would be to flush the wheels out and go lower as well. But i love the way 19's look.

i m so confused on what you just said...

you dont want to go back to 18's and yet your nismo's are 18's

what are the specs on the nismo's because if you go lower your wheels are going to tuck more.

With the flat black Nismos, your car will instantly look like it belongs on a track and yes, the Nismos will flush out with your fenders nicely. It all depends on what direction you want to go from here (clean cruiser or bad *** beast)
